1
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,190
In 7th century China,
the Tang Dynasty is in decline.

2
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,230
The Imperial Court
seeks to protect itself

3
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,480
by establishing garrisons
at the frontiers of its empire.

4
00:01:58,650 --> 00:02:00,110
Two centuries later,

5
00:02:00,270 --> 00:02:04,440
the militarized provinces
waver in their loyalty to the Court.

6
00:02:04,610 --> 00:02:08,900
Some move to distance themselves
from the Emperor’s control.

7
00:02:09,060 --> 00:02:14,670
At that time, Weibo asserts itself
as the strongest of those provinces.

8
00:02:45,090 --> 00:02:47,630
That man poisoned his own father,

9
00:02:47,980 --> 00:02:49,940
he killed his own brother.

10
00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:52,690
His guilt condemns him.

11
00:02:56,530 --> 00:03:00,150
Cut him down for me, expertly.

12
00:03:04,780 --> 00:03:07,440
As if he were a bird in flight.

13
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,030
Don't pinch it!

14
00:04:57,690 --> 00:04:59,030
Where's it going?

15
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,320
Where does it fly to?

16
00:05:08,150 --> 00:05:09,490
Where indeed?

17
00:05:15,820 --> 00:05:18,400
I want to touch it.

18
00:05:23,740 --> 00:05:25,690
Where's it going?

19
00:05:27,610 --> 00:05:29,150
Where's it going?

20
00:05:32,820 --> 00:05:35,320
Play with the ball.

21
00:07:55,190 --> 00:07:57,650
Why did it take you so long?

22
00:07:58,780 --> 00:08:00,940
The governor's son was there.

23
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,360
I could not bring myself to do it.

24
00:08:05,780 --> 00:08:07,240
Another time,

25
00:08:07,740 --> 00:08:09,530
first kill the one he loves,

26
00:08:09,740 --> 00:08:11,400
and then the man himself.

27
00:08:25,740 --> 00:08:27,530
You have mastered the sword

28
00:08:27,780 --> 00:08:29,570
but your heart lacks resolve.

29
00:08:29,940 --> 00:08:31,740
I shall return you to Weibo

30
00:08:31,940 --> 00:08:33,610
to kill your cousin

31
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,150
Tian Ji'an.

32
00:10:17,610 --> 00:10:19,280
My lady,

33
00:10:19,490 --> 00:10:21,740
a nun is here.

34
00:10:21,990 --> 00:10:26,190
She says
she is bringing Yinniang back.

35
00:10:55,940 --> 00:10:58,780
As your humble servant,

36
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,440
I bow to you, Your Reverence.

37
00:11:06,110 --> 00:11:07,940
Yinniang has completed
her studies.

38
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,070
Today she returns.

39
00:11:11,530 --> 00:11:13,440
I'll take my leave of you.

40
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,280
The King of Kophen's bluebird

41
00:14:39,990 --> 00:14:42,360
failed to sing for three years.

42
00:14:44,110 --> 00:14:45,990
One day the Queen remarked :

43
00:14:46,190 --> 00:14:49,400
Birds sing only
to their own kind,

44
00:14:49,610 --> 00:14:51,780
set the bird before a mirror!

45
00:14:58,570 --> 00:15:00,610
The King heeded her advice.

46
00:15:01,940 --> 00:15:03,860
The bluebird saw its own image,

47
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,070
it sang of its sadness,

48
00:15:09,030 --> 00:15:10,650
it danced,

49
00:15:12,860 --> 00:15:14,440
until it expired.

50
00:15:31,190 --> 00:15:34,190
Yinniang,
these clothes are for you.

51
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,860
While you were away
with the nun,

52
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,990
your mother
made them for you herself,

53
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,780
every spring and autumn.

54
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,570
Grandmother, my respects.

55
00:17:31,190 --> 00:17:33,360
Rise.

56
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,440
This is from your Master.

57
00:18:11,150 --> 00:18:13,820
She asked the tea-traders
to bring it here.

58
00:18:30,190 --> 00:18:31,860
This jade was given

59
00:18:32,360 --> 00:18:37,070
to Princess Jiacheng when she was
obliged to marry the Lord of Weibo.

60
00:18:37,990 --> 00:18:42,440
Her brother the Emperor offered it
as a farewell gift.

61
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,610
This jade

62
00:18:50,610 --> 00:18:52,940
symbolizes a decisive break.

63
00:18:55,150 --> 00:18:57,900
His Majesty
was commanding her

64
00:18:58,780 --> 00:19:02,860
to depart from his Court
and to secure Weibo.

65
00:19:04,030 --> 00:19:05,990
To prevent Weibo

66
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,990
from invading
His Majesty's lands.

67
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:22,490
That year, your uncle and I were
in charge of ceremonial protocol.

68
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,070
I recall

69
00:19:28,030 --> 00:19:31,990
that the princess refused
her usual carriage.

70
00:19:34,030 --> 00:19:36,490
So His Majesty gave her
an Imperial gold carriage.

71
00:19:40,900 --> 00:19:42,990
When Princess Jiacheng
reached Weibo,

72
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,530
she abandoned
all her former customs

73
00:19:48,070 --> 00:19:50,860
and adapted
to the manners of Weibo.

74
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:57,320
She sent away the retinue of staff
provided by His Majesty.

75
00:20:00,530 --> 00:20:02,610
She lavished
gold and silk on them,

76
00:20:03,150 --> 00:20:07,110
so that they could have
their freedom.

77
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:10,610
Since then,

78
00:20:11,530 --> 00:20:13,860
the Court is the Court

79
00:20:14,490 --> 00:20:16,610
and Weibo is Weibo.

80
00:20:20,690 --> 00:20:23,940
The Princess implemented
that decisive break.

81
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,490
When her son Tian Ji'an
came of age,

82
00:20:34,110 --> 00:20:36,320
she divided two matching jades:

83
00:20:37,030 --> 00:20:39,070
One to her son, one to you.

84
00:20:40,820 --> 00:20:45,240
She wished the two of you
to maintain the imperial edict.

85
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,240
To be resolute

86
00:20:49,110 --> 00:20:53,030
in preserving the peace
between the Imperial Court and Weibo.

87
00:20:59,650 --> 00:21:01,900
His Majesty
passed away four years ago.

88
00:21:02,940 --> 00:21:07,150
One year later,
his nephew and heir also passed away.

89
00:21:08,990 --> 00:21:13,690
When the imperial messenger
brought the sad news,

90
00:21:15,530 --> 00:21:17,740
Princess Jiacheng coughed up blood

91
00:21:18,740 --> 00:21:20,990
and hurled her pearls and jades

92
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,240
to the ground.

93
00:21:27,150 --> 00:21:28,440
That year,

94
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,820
the glorious white peonies
she brought from the Court

95
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,440
withered overnight.

96
00:21:45,860 --> 00:21:48,400
The Princess had one last concern.

97
00:21:52,070 --> 00:21:54,530
Her heart was troubled
by the thought...

98
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,070
that she had let you down.

99
00:22:43,150 --> 00:22:44,150
A year ago,

100
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,990
the Court sent
an official to Chengde

101
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,820
to console Wang Chengzong

102
00:22:49,990 --> 00:22:52,360
for his father's death.

103
00:22:52,610 --> 00:22:56,860
He persuaded Wang to pay the Court
taxes on salt and iron

104
00:22:57,070 --> 00:23:00,400
and give away two provinces
for a promotion.

105
00:23:00,610 --> 00:23:04,940
The Court immediately
established in these two provinces

106
00:23:05,860 --> 00:23:07,690
the Baoxin Garrison.

107
00:23:07,900 --> 00:23:10,610
Lord Tian,
you have a man in Chengde,

108
00:23:10,900 --> 00:23:13,690
seeding trouble between
Wang and Xue Changchao.

109
00:23:13,900 --> 00:23:18,320
He tells Wang that Xue has secret
dealings with the Court.

110
00:23:18,530 --> 00:23:20,570
That will goad Wang

111
00:23:21,110 --> 00:23:22,610
into capturing Xue,

112
00:23:22,820 --> 00:23:26,320
so Xue will not be able
to receive his promotion!

113
00:23:28,150 --> 00:23:31,490
This plan must be curtailed!

114
00:23:31,690 --> 00:23:33,190
At the moment,

115
00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:37,780
the Imperial Court
is actively extending its domain.

116
00:23:37,990 --> 00:23:40,610
The Court will certainly be offended

117
00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:44,900
and send troops into Weibo!

118
00:23:45,110 --> 00:23:47,860
Their new provinces
adjoin Weibo,

119
00:23:48,110 --> 00:23:51,030
and it is where they built
their new garrison.

120
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,530
The Court is showing off its strength
to intimidate us in Weibo.

121
00:23:55,780 --> 00:23:58,900
It is time to act.

122
00:23:59,110 --> 00:24:01,610
The Court could take Weibo

123
00:24:01,860 --> 00:24:06,650
as easily as
it took the Wushu provinces.

124
00:24:09,150 --> 00:24:13,240
It will not be so easy
to seize Weibo.

125
00:24:13,740 --> 00:24:15,990
We are not like Wushu.

126
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,190
The Wushu garrison

127
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:23,820
was encircled by the Court.

128
00:24:24,110 --> 00:24:26,280
Their rulers behaved as autocrats

129
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:32,610
and commanded
no popular support!

130
00:24:33,150 --> 00:24:33,990
Thus,

131
00:24:34,150 --> 00:24:38,440
the population instantly ceded
to the Court's army.

132
00:24:40,570 --> 00:24:42,820
There is no comparison
with Weibo.

133
00:24:43,190 --> 00:24:47,780
Our fifty-year history
has forged bonds

134
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,940
between ruler and ruled.

135
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:53,400
Furthermore,

136
00:24:53,610 --> 00:24:57,570
even if Wang and Xue fall out,

137
00:24:57,820 --> 00:24:59,360
they are related by marriage.

138
00:24:59,570 --> 00:25:02,400
Their quarrel will not spill
over borders.

139
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,440
Xue Changchao
has interests in Weibo.

140
00:25:06,690 --> 00:25:09,320
He does not always obey the Court.

141
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:11,320
My lord,

142
00:25:11,570 --> 00:25:15,240
setting Wang against Xue

143
00:25:15,530 --> 00:25:19,320
would offend the Court
and they will send troops.

144
00:25:20,530 --> 00:25:23,320
It will place Weibo
in grave danger!

145
00:29:25,940 --> 00:29:27,780
Lord Tian is arriving.

146
00:29:41,820 --> 00:29:43,900
It was a woman in black.

147
00:29:44,150 --> 00:29:46,570
Your son saw her
while he was playing.

148
00:29:48,030 --> 00:29:50,280
She seemed to mean him
no harm.

149
00:32:12,030 --> 00:32:13,570
The guard says

150
00:32:13,900 --> 00:32:15,900
my brother will be banished.

151
00:32:16,990 --> 00:32:19,240
His blunt speaking caused offence.

152
00:32:23,070 --> 00:32:24,610
How is he?

153
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:26,860
He had a stroke.

154
00:32:37,490 --> 00:32:38,990
Yinniang is back.

155
00:32:39,190 --> 00:32:40,650
I heard.

156
00:32:41,940 --> 00:32:44,740
The nun-princess brought her back.

157
00:34:35,030 --> 00:34:36,860
Lord Tian is here.

158
00:35:59,110 --> 00:36:01,240
You're thinking about that woman?

159
00:36:11,490 --> 00:36:14,070
Tian Xing will be sent away.

160
00:36:20,740 --> 00:36:23,570
He provoked panic.
They all support the Court!

161
00:36:24,820 --> 00:36:27,240
Cowards, all of them!

162
00:40:27,860 --> 00:40:28,860
It was Yinniang.

163
00:40:30,610 --> 00:40:31,610
It was her.

164
00:40:44,110 --> 00:40:45,240
I understand.

165
00:40:49,530 --> 00:40:51,740
She wanted me to recognize her.

166
00:40:54,530 --> 00:40:55,530
Who?

167
00:40:55,690 --> 00:40:56,820
Yinniang.

168
00:40:57,530 --> 00:41:00,530
She wanted me to recognize her
before taking my life.

169
00:41:00,780 --> 00:41:02,990
She wants me to know why.

170
00:41:33,530 --> 00:41:35,360
These jades were given...

171
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,610
to my mother when she married
into the Weibo clan.

172
00:41:42,150 --> 00:41:43,820
When I came of age,

173
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,900
Mother gave one to me,
one to Yinniang.

174
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:50,820
One jade each,

175
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,440
she betrothed us.

176
00:41:56,490 --> 00:42:00,610
Mother intended us to wed
when Yinniang turned fifteen.

177
00:42:03,240 --> 00:42:04,190
The following year,

178
00:42:05,240 --> 00:42:08,490
Yuan, the Ming lord,
formed an alliance with Weibo.

179
00:42:08,990 --> 00:42:12,030
Father wanted to cement
the alliance with a marriage.

180
00:42:16,610 --> 00:42:19,490
I was born to a concubine,
Mother adopted me.

181
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,070
To be sure
that I would inherit Weibo.

182
00:42:24,860 --> 00:42:26,860
Mother betrayed
her promise to Yinniang.

183
00:42:42,740 --> 00:42:44,360
Back then,

184
00:42:45,860 --> 00:42:48,740
Yinniang stayed in the forest.

185
00:42:51,990 --> 00:42:53,570
Like a phoenix!

186
00:42:54,990 --> 00:42:56,940
She broke into the Yuans' mansion.

187
00:42:57,490 --> 00:42:59,190
Their guards wounded her.

188
00:43:00,820 --> 00:43:02,530
She could have died.

189
00:43:07,240 --> 00:43:10,820
Mother asked her twin sister,
Princess Jiaxin,

190
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,400
to take Yinniang away.

191
00:43:37,990 --> 00:43:39,900
I feel for Yinniang.

192
00:44:05,490 --> 00:44:07,940
When I was ten
I had a serious fever.

193
00:44:09,530 --> 00:44:11,610
The pain was unbearable.

194
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:15,570
The doctors were no help.

195
00:44:16,150 --> 00:44:18,360
A small coffin was prepared.

196
00:44:20,780 --> 00:44:22,320
Yinniang's father suggested

197
00:44:22,530 --> 00:44:25,440
I be rolled in a bamboo mat

198
00:44:25,740 --> 00:44:27,740
and put in a cool spot.

199
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,190
After three days and nights,

200
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:31,900
I was cured.

201
00:44:37,900 --> 00:44:39,570
In my delirium,

202
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,280
I sensed a presence.

203
00:44:44,110 --> 00:44:45,490
It was Yinniang.

204
00:44:46,690 --> 00:44:49,150
No one could have made her leave.

205
00:46:00,190 --> 00:46:01,320
Excuse me, sir,

206
00:46:01,530 --> 00:46:03,360
our guard has a report.

207
00:46:03,610 --> 00:46:04,990
Speak.

208
00:46:11,240 --> 00:46:12,530
Lord Provost,

209
00:46:12,740 --> 00:46:15,990
an assassin entered
Lord Tian's mansion.

210
00:46:16,190 --> 00:46:18,860
Our guards are in pursuit.

211
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:20,780
What is the situation?

212
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:22,690
Nothing is certain.

213
00:46:29,190 --> 00:46:31,240
I withdraw.

214
00:46:41,820 --> 00:46:44,900
We should not have allowed
the nun to take Yinniang away.

215
00:46:48,690 --> 00:46:50,530
What choice did we have?

216
00:46:51,940 --> 00:46:54,240
We had to save her somehow.

217
00:46:59,690 --> 00:47:01,490
Do you realize?

218
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:06,610
Yinniang is back

219
00:47:06,780 --> 00:47:09,440
to kill Lord Tian
on the orders of her Master!

220
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,110
Provost,

221
00:47:34,570 --> 00:47:36,570
a messenger is here.

222
00:47:36,820 --> 00:47:41,610
Lord Tian urgently requires
your presence.

223
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,400
My Lord, the Provost is here.

224
00:48:49,780 --> 00:48:51,610
Your humble servant pays
his respects.

225
00:48:54,780 --> 00:48:56,650
I sent for you,

226
00:48:57,190 --> 00:49:02,900
because I want you to escort
Commander Tian Xing to the border.

227
00:49:06,190 --> 00:49:08,240
Make sure he reaches it safely.

228
00:49:16,110 --> 00:49:17,440
My Lord,

229
00:49:18,490 --> 00:49:20,400
Tian Xing went home yesterday.

230
00:49:20,610 --> 00:49:22,530
He had a stroke.

231
00:49:25,190 --> 00:49:26,690
He's pretending.

232
00:49:31,990 --> 00:49:33,190
As you command.

233
00:49:35,150 --> 00:49:36,530
Uncle...

234
00:49:42,740 --> 00:49:44,740
Be ready for anything.

235
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:51,610
Three years ago, his predecessor
was seized and buried alive.

236
00:49:52,190 --> 00:49:53,690
That must not happen again!

237
00:50:04,940 --> 00:50:06,530
Yinniang...

238
00:50:07,610 --> 00:50:09,860
returned home yesterday.

239
00:50:19,860 --> 00:50:21,860
We came face to face last night.

240
00:51:24,490 --> 00:51:26,150
As My Lady guessed,

241
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,740
she faked her period
with chicken blood.

242
00:51:33,490 --> 00:51:35,530
Lord Tian is here.

243
00:51:48,740 --> 00:51:52,860
Tell the nurse to fetch the boys.

244
00:52:06,070 --> 00:52:08,650
Jiang, show yourself!

245
00:52:16,780 --> 00:52:20,650
Yesterday,
I ordered Tian Xing to leave.

246
00:52:21,150 --> 00:52:23,280
He has a new post.

247
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,990
Just now,
I ordered Provost Nie Feng

248
00:52:28,240 --> 00:52:31,240
to escort him.

249
00:52:33,940 --> 00:52:36,990
The incident of three years ago

250
00:52:37,490 --> 00:52:39,280
must not be repeated!

251
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:43,440
Understood.

252
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,650
I hear we had an intruder last night.

253
00:52:50,860 --> 00:52:52,820
The same woman in black?

254
00:52:55,740 --> 00:52:57,530
You are well informed!

255
00:55:22,570 --> 00:55:23,990
Travel safely!

256
00:56:42,490 --> 00:56:44,280
Bring Xiaomian here.

257
00:56:55,820 --> 00:56:57,150
Master,

258
00:56:57,690 --> 00:56:59,940
it is exactly as Madame guessed.

259
00:57:00,150 --> 00:57:01,610
Huji is pregnant.

260
00:57:01,820 --> 00:57:04,610
She faked her period
with chicken blood.

261
00:57:36,530 --> 00:57:41,190
Commander Tian Xing will leave.
When it gets dark, go after him.

262
00:58:17,990 --> 00:58:18,650
What news?

263
00:58:18,860 --> 00:58:21,440
Tian Xing has left the staging post.

264
00:58:40,740 --> 00:58:43,190
They took a fork in the road.

265
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:44,490
With Commander Tian?

266
00:58:44,690 --> 00:58:46,150
It was too dark to tell.

267
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:47,990
Our man is chasing them.

268
01:07:20,650 --> 01:07:25,570
We should not have let the nun
take you away.

269
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:35,030
Princess Jiacheng
taught me the zither.

270
01:16:37,190 --> 01:16:39,900
She told me a story
about a bluebird's dance.

271
01:16:48,070 --> 01:16:50,570
She herself was the bluebird.

272
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:57,990
She left the Court for Weibo
all by herself.

273
01:17:00,190 --> 01:17:02,360
There was no one like her
in Weibo.

274
01:25:46,490 --> 01:25:48,150
Come and help!

275
01:25:54,940 --> 01:25:56,190
Huji!

276
01:26:23,780 --> 01:26:25,530
Huji is pregnant.

277
01:28:10,070 --> 01:28:11,990
I found this in the corridor.

278
01:28:24,490 --> 01:28:27,860
My father showed me one of these
shortly before he died.

279
01:28:31,240 --> 01:28:34,990
When the Lord
died suddenly in the night,

280
01:28:35,690 --> 01:28:37,860
one was found by his bed.

281
01:28:38,570 --> 01:28:40,990
Father suspected a plot
by Princess Jiaxin.

282
01:28:41,240 --> 01:28:45,110
He traced her to a temple
in the south, where they spoke.

283
01:28:47,110 --> 01:28:49,150
She blamed him
for his suspicions,

284
01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:52,110
saying she served the heavens,
not evil spirits

285
01:28:52,320 --> 01:28:56,280
and such black magic
just scares the simple-minded.

286
01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:00,070
In her opinion,

287
01:29:00,650 --> 01:29:03,030
the Lord died of fear.

288
01:29:03,780 --> 01:29:05,900
He scared himself to death.

289
01:30:31,820 --> 01:30:33,490
Lord Tian is here.

290
01:30:34,610 --> 01:30:36,490
Come here, boys!

291
01:31:37,490 --> 01:31:38,940
Sit.

292
01:31:41,240 --> 01:31:42,940
All of you.

293
01:31:59,440 --> 01:32:00,940
Rise!

294
01:32:11,570 --> 01:32:13,280
Clear this away.

295
01:32:47,150 --> 01:32:48,110
Reporting, sir!

296
01:32:48,400 --> 01:32:50,320
Commander Tian reached his post.

297
01:32:50,530 --> 01:32:53,110
And Provost Nie is recovering
from his wounds.

298
01:32:53,360 --> 01:32:58,570
He remains weak, but will report
to you himself tomorrow.

299
01:32:59,780 --> 01:33:00,900
My Lord,

300
01:33:01,110 --> 01:33:03,320
Wang Chengzong
has sent 200 cavalrymen

301
01:33:03,570 --> 01:33:07,240
to arrest Xue Changchao.

302
01:33:08,690 --> 01:33:09,860
My Lord,

303
01:33:10,070 --> 01:33:12,110
if we behave aggressively

304
01:33:12,490 --> 01:33:15,110
and destroy the Imperial troops,

305
01:33:15,320 --> 01:33:18,360
the Court will mobilize

306
01:33:18,530 --> 01:33:20,190
against Weibo.

307
01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:24,280
I propose that
we distract the Court's men

308
01:33:24,690 --> 01:33:26,900
by offering them food and wine.

309
01:33:27,110 --> 01:33:29,070
Meanwhile,
we negotiate with Wang...

310
01:35:32,780 --> 01:35:36,280
Were Tian Ji'an to die
while his sons are still young,

311
01:35:36,570 --> 01:35:38,150
Weibo would fall into chaos.

312
01:35:40,780 --> 01:35:42,400
So I chose not to kill him.

313
01:35:46,690 --> 01:35:48,940
The way of the sword is pitiless.

314
01:35:49,150 --> 01:35:51,650
Saintly virtues play no part in it.

315
01:35:52,820 --> 01:35:54,900
Your skills are matchless,

316
01:35:56,570 --> 01:35:59,860
but your mind is hostage
to human sentiments.

317
01:39:35,110 --> 01:39:35,650
Look!

318
01:39:35,820 --> 01:39:38,490
The young woman kept
her promise.

319
01:39:38,780 --> 01:39:41,150
She said she'd come back.

320
01:39:42,150 --> 01:39:43,490
She is trustworthy.

321
01:39:43,690 --> 01:39:46,280
She'll escort him
into the land of Xinro.
